You seem to be talking to me, but quoting someone else, so I'll respond. It was the attitude and posture that they used when replying to people who complained about the material that made it easy for me to write off the magazine. [/B] Ah, but they did. After the 'vile' issue they published two...

M.utually A.ssured D.estruction During the Cold War neither side (USA or USSR) would launch a nuclear attack against the other side because Mutually Assured Destruction was the likely outcome. This is why it was/is so important to the USSR that we not develop an anti-ballistic missile system...

Please quote, from any of my messages in this thread, any portion that you consider to be a complaint. I don't see it. What they have done since that issue, or what they may do in the future, is not relevant because I no longer purchase Dragon. With that in mind, please understand that I no...

I understand that there are those people who place their wants and comforts above the need to do what they feel is right and necessary. I am not one of those people. If I see or feel that something is wrong, I take action. Trick me once, shame on you, trick me twice, shame on me. That is my...

I stopped buying Dragon due to the inclusion of the 'vile' material and the profanity, and now it looks like I may have to stop buying Dungeon as well. When I stopped buying Dragon I made it clear to the players in my campaign that nothing from Dragon would be used in any game that I ran. As I...

My FLGS had both when I went in yesterday.

A few days ago I found an incredible tool for Pocket PC users who also use PC Gen, it's called PCGScry. He has CAB files for ARM, MIPS, and SH3 processors. This nifty Pocket PC app lets you export a character from PCGen and import it into your Pocket PC. It isn't just a static image of your...

My Cassiopeia uses a MIPS processor and runs Microsoft Windows CE Version 3.0.9348 (Build 9351). I'd love to try it out. I've been looking high and low for something like this.

Re: XP Calculator I'd love to have something like this, but my Cassiopeia is neither Pocket PC 2002 or ARM compatible.

I let one of my players create an Ogre character. This was back when they did the write-up in Dragon. I decided that it would be interesting to playtest for a while. If it didn't work out he could always try something else. During character generation he dumped a ton of points into his...

Re: Re: Fiction in Dragon magazine?? What that says, at least to me, is that there isn't a great demand for it. I would not shed a single tear, while I did the happy dance, if the part of the magazine devoted to fiction disappeared.

How about this feat? Improved Blindsight Prerequisite: Blindsight 5' Radius. Each time this feat is selected your blindsight radius increases by 5'.

It can be whatever the DM allows it to be. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says. If I was the DM I would pull out my, "None of the other players had any difficulty creating a character using a race from the approved list. You will have to do the same." speech if I didn't want to...

Sorry, I am not willing to blindly click on a link from work. I will, however, take a look when I get home and let you know.

I really hope that they don't tie up enough funds in this new magazine to endanger Dragon and/or Dungeon if (more likely when) it fails.

It's working for me. No problems.

Before I figured out that vBulletin supports a feature to 'turn off all that eyesore crap' the stuff really annoyed me. I'd look at it and feel my blood pressure rise. I was headed for an early grave. Now, via the wonder of check boxes and mouse clicks I no longer see any of that eyesore...

Don't worry Clark, we have plenty of other examples that they're evil, we don't need to use this one! ;)

I don't know if it's always arrogance. Some people just don't like the way that a particular game mechanic is handled, so they change it. I think that the designers made a lot of their decisions to keep the game fast and simple. House rules can add a bit of realism, but at a cost, that cost...

Unless, of course, you are willing to accept the fact that wizards and clerics have an understanding of the spells that they cast, and furthermore, an understanding of the uses to which such spells can be put. Is it reasonable to me that one might extrapolate that a wizard or cleric knows that...
